Garden Trailer

So recently I got a wild hair to start building a heavy duty, hydraulic dump trailer for my Bolens HT-18 to pull. I plan to use two rear tubeframe wheels/tires along with a Kawasaki Mule dump bed to achieve a rugged but practical look. The early Mule dump beds were nice because they were all metal and 4'x4'. I have the wheels and spindles already. I picked up some heavy box tubing for the axle and tongue and picked up a 2" ball hitch at ACE. The 5 bolt hubs were purchased at surplus center. I also have a hydraulic cylinder that I will be using for the lift. The aluminum diamond plate will be used for the mud flaps. Here are a few early shots of my progress:
